your 16 year old pain is temporary.
the things you stress over at 16 are not worth a single tear
or cut at the wrist.
-
  the world as you know it will only reveal itself to be more ghastly than you think,
but your world doesn't have to be a reflection of the world you live in.
-
    some people go through things because they know no better
& just because you witness pain doesn't mean you have to resonate with it.
-
sympathize with the things you see people go through,
be of help if that is something you can do.
    do not destroy yourself trying to be everything for everyone.
follow your dreams,
be the best you can be,
& be the change in the world that you want to see.

This is for you:

-the girl who is so ashamed because of her acne,
-the girl who cries in front of her mirror because she doesn’t
look like Picasso’s muse,
-the girl who forgot how to smile because of her problems,
-the girl who cries her eyes out every night because of him,
-the girl who is so terrified to attach because of her past relationship,
-the girl who is different from the others,
-the girl who wants to save every soul she meets, except hers,
-the girl whose heart, blood and soul runs wild,

-you are so much more than the sprinkles from your skin.
-you're not Picasso’s muse, but you definitely are God’s muse.
-don’t waste your life being so stressed, just enjoy the journey.
-you need to be strong.Cry your heart out, but stop,your tears are too worthy , make them rare, for the real ones.
-try to love yourself first, then someone else.
-your future is not defined by your past.
-you need to save yourself first.
-run with them, darling, and never look back.

This is for you, girls.
You, no matter what, are good enough.
You are lovable.
You are strong.
You are independent.
You are different.
You are rare.
You are you, and that is your power, learn how to use it.
